Oven-baked toffee apples (from the recipe archives)
September 2010
This recipe was originally posted in September 2008, but it's still a big favourite with our friends and family, so I decided to showcase this again. It's a wonderful twist on the traditional oven-baked apples, that should appeal to everybody with a sweet tooth.
Oven-baked Toffee Apples
(Ahjus küpsetatud õunad mandli-iirisekattega)
Serves 4 to 6
September 2008
4 to 6 large firm apples
Toffee-almond topping:
50 g almond slices
50 g unsalted butter
200 ml soft brown sugar
200 ml whipping or double cream
1 Tbsp potato starch or cornflour
To serve:
vanilla ice cream
Peel the apples (NB! this is optional, see comment below*), halve and core them. Fit them snugly into a buttered oven-dish, cut-side down.
Mix brown sugar and potato flour/cornflour in a small saucepan. Add butter, almond slices, and fresh cream. Bring slowly into the boil, stirring regularly. Spoon the toffee mixture onto the apples.
Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 200 C / 400 F oven for 20-30 minutes (cooking time depends on the apples), until apples are cooked and toffee topping has thickened. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PUDDING and take care not to burn the toffee sauce!!!
Cool a little and serve with ice cream or soft whipped cream.
* In general, I tend not to peel apples from my mum's or grandma's garden, or apples from a reputable organic source. However, peeling apples beforehand does make for neater presentation and easier eating afterwards.

'Guardians' tops Labor Day, summer box office
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The intergalactic misfits of "Guardians of the Galaxy" are the summer's box-office superheroes.
Marvel's cosmic romp topped the Labor Day box office with a three-day take of $22 million - its third time in first place since its release five weeks ago, according to studio estimates Monday. With North American ticket sales of more than $280 million so far, "Guardians" is also the summer's - and the year's - top-grossing film to date domestically.
Still, summer box-office totals are down almost 15 percent from last year, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.
"This is the lowest summer since 2006 in terms of revenue," he said. "Before 'Guardians,' we were sitting on a 20 percent deficit compared to last year."
"Transformers: Age of Extinction," which opened in late June, also boosted the summer box office with $1 billion in global ticket sales. "Maleficent" was another hit, bringing in more than $230 million domestically.
"This was never expected to be a record-breaking summer," Dergarabedian said, "but it maybe came in under expectations."
The World Cup may have distracted moviegoers, he said. Also, the death of Paul Walker caused the seventh installment of "Fast & Furious" - which might have added around $200 million to the summer box office - to be postponed until next year.
Last summer broke box-office records with the success of "Iron Man 3," ''Star Trek," ''The Heat" and "Despicable Me 2." Next summer is expected to make history again with hotly anticipated releases including "Star Wars," ''Avengers: Age of Ultron" and Pixar's "Inside Out."
"Summer of 2014 is a transitional summer between two record-breaking years," Dergarabedian said.
The top movies over the lackluster Labor Day holiday were the same as the previous weekend. Paramount's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" followed "Guardians" with $15.7 million, while Warner Bros.' young-adult drama, "If I Stay" took third place with $11.6 million.
"We went out with a whimper," Dergarabedian said. "We wound up a very exasperating summer on a very quiet note."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers (through Sunday) are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Tuesday.
1. "Guardians of the Galaxy," $22.2 million ($19.7 million international).
2. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," $15.7 million ($13 million international).
3. "If I Stay," $11.6 million ($4.6 million international).
4. "Let's Be Cops," $10.5 million ($6.6 million international).
5. "As Above, So Below," $10.3 million ($1.4 million international).
6. "The November Man," $10.2 million.
7. "When the Game Stands Tall," $8 million.
8. "The Giver," $6.9 million.
9. "The Hundred-Foot Journey," $6.3 million.
10. "The Expendables 3," $4.5 million ($8.8 million international).
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada), according to Rentrak:
1. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," $51.2 million.
2. "Lucy," $31.2 million.
3. "Guardians of the Galaxy," $19.7 million.
4. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," $13 million.
5. "Into the Storm," $12.9 million.
6. "How to Train Your Dragon 2," $10.5 million.
7. "Hercules," $9.8 million.
8. "The Expendables 3," $8.8 million.
9. "Let's Be Cops," $6.6 million.
10. "The Pirates," $5.5 million.

Defining beer
The Brewers Association has caused a firestorm on the interwebs today with the release of its statement "Craft vs. Crafty."
You can read the whole statement here, but basically, the statement gives the Brewers Association of craft beer, warns consumers to avoid "craft-imitating beers" brewed by large breweries and calls for all beer labels to include whoever brews the beer so consumers know if they're buying real craft beer or "craft-imitating beers."
I never liked the Brewers Association's definition of craft beer because it does not take taste into considertion There are many, many breweries that fall under their definition of craft beer that brew some really bad beers. Should I support a brewery that is "craft" just because they're "craft."
I think it's just getting too complicated. I have two new definitions that I think are simpler.
Instead of "craft vs. crafty," it should be "good beer vs. bad beer."
The definition of good beer is beer that tastes good to you. The definition of bad beer is beer that tastes bad to you. The great thing is no one can question you on it. It's all based on your own taste buds.
So stop worrying about definitions and labels. Just drink what you like.

With the ability to change geometry, travel and suspension on the fly, Kona's patented Magic Link Active Geometry represents a new era in dual suspension mountain biking. Released in 2008, Magic Link is a completely intuitive system. It's always on. You and the trail are the switch.
Known to be one of the lightest and strongest alloys in the world, with superior ride characteristics, Kona Race Light Scandium is featured in many of our high-end bike models - from dual suspension mountain bikes through to some of our top ranking asphalt bikes.
Scandium is a potent grain refiner that when added to aluminum alloys, elevates the strength and durability of the material by 50%. It accomplishes this by aligning the grains of the alloy, making the metal less susceptible to failure.Kona Race Light Scandium alloy is twice as strong as 6061 or 7005 aluminum, allowing our engineers to use much less material. Because of the material's strength, it can be butted thin enough to give the aluminum a more compliant ride similar to steel but without weight. In more specific terms, we're shaving weight from our aluminum frames by 10-to-15%, without sacrificing strength and durability.
For 2011 you'll find Kona Race Light Scandium sprinkled throughout our entire line of bikes. Most notably, our Abra Cadabra 100-160mm variable travel backcountry bike uses a Scandium frame, a testament to our commitment and faith in one of the world's most rigorous materials.
Kona recognized the advantages of sloping top tube frame design right from the original models we made in 1988, designed by inaugural MTB Hall of Fame legend Joe Murray. As a company, we've stayed true to this philosophy, going so far as to pioneer the design in road bikes before the benefits were understood. Today, you'll find sloping top tubes in most high-end road race bicycles. We've since stayed true to all the many positives this design brings to overall bike performance and comfort.
First, this design allows the top tube to be lower, providing more room for correct positioning and free body movement, enabling more standover clearance, which is particularly useful on dual suspension bikes that have higher bottom brackets. Riders have a more secure riding position, which is especially beneficial when riding downhill sections.Also, the top tube is longer and more compliant. As the top and down tube become more parallel, there's less triangulation, resulting in more compliancy. So not only is the frame stronger and more responsive, but it absorbs more shock than frames with horizontal top tubes.
Short chain stays and seat stays provide a perfect balance of stability and power transfer when out of the saddle and pedaling hard. Shorter seat stays also have less deflection during braking and accelerate quicker than longer stays. The shorter rear triangle also helps the bike to negotiate tight twisting sections of trail.
For 2011, you'll find formed tubing on a great number of our bicycles. Hydroforming uses water specifically, but we also use Superplastic formed tubing, shaped using air, or cold formed tubing. This not only allows a tube to be tuned for compliancy on specific planes but it also improves grain alignment and increases all mechanical properties.
Hydroforming is a tube shaping technology that uses super high-pressure liquid to form the shape of a tube and align its grain structure. Quite simply, the technology delivers a sound structure and ride performance like no other tubing in the world. The process results in a seamless, continuous, aligned piece of metal-right down to the fiber structure itself.
Hydroforming proves especially advantageous at weld points where it can be flared to increase weld areas, adding strength without adding weight in the form of extra gussets. The result is a strong, flawless frame with great lateral stability, durability and responsiveness. Not to mention, it looks real sharp too.
By having the headset bearing located inside the headtube (what's sometimes called zero stack), rather than the top and bottom, we are able to achieve a wide array of advantages when it comes to front end stiffness and overall riding performance. With an internal headset, the head tube is able to take the stress directly, resulting in less play and less wear, with strong ride characteristics, and better bearing performance.
An internal headset also reduces stack height, enabling the height of the stem and bars to be more adjustable, the bike has more setup options, resulting in the best fit possible.
For 2011, a wide variety of Kona bicycles feature tapered head tubes, meaning the top of the head tube is 1-1/8-inches at the top, while the bottom is 1.5-inches. From our cyclocross bikes to our cross-country mountain bikes, right through to longer travel dual suspension models, like our Cadabras and CoilAirs, a tapered head tube provides more support at the intersection of the top tube and down tube.
The design also offers a more solid interface between forks with tapered steer tubes and the bicycle frame itself. More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself. The design also allows for a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain.
When a rider puts force into the bicycles drivetrain (cranks, chain and rear cassette), not only are they propelling the bike forward, they're also putting a significant amount of torsion on the rear chain stays. Because the drivetrain is on one side of the bicycle, the frame wants to flex laterally. It is the one element of bike design that's not in perfect balance.
Used primarily on our dual suspension mountain bikes, asymmetrical stays help to stiffen the rear end by compensating for the offset forces of this imbalance. The drive-side stay is straight, while the non-drive takes advantage of no chain rings and chain, better able to deal with the torque, effectively countering the torsional forces in the rear triangle. By putting strength where it is needed, pedaling stiffness and rider efficiency is greatly increased.
Sizing and fit have always been one of the main strengths of the Kona range, with more stock sizes available than any other bike company. With our range of bicycles expanding significantly over the last couple of years, we felt it was time to overhaul our size scale.
We started with the overwhelming request for longer top tubes on our XC mountain bikes. The average increase is ½-inch (15-20mm), which we coupled with shorter stems and slightly shorter headset stack heights. The steps between sizes were evened out to ½-inch or 1-inch increments, and there are still up to 7 sizes: from 14-inch to 22-inch on many models.
In the asphalt range, top tube lengths were marginally lengthened, with the size gaps revised to even 15 to 20mm steps. There are still up to 6 sizes" from 46cm to 61cm on most models.
When it's called for, seat posts are either offset or straight to maximize the reach and power output of the rider. More importantly, the overall sizing on mountain bikes and road bikes allow Kona dealers and riders to determine their fit more easily from model to model and category to category.
The net result is better fit on the entire range, with a simplified system that allows easy fine-tuning and a perfect marriage of bike and rider throughout our entire 2011 range.

A new roof made from the right sophisticated and durable material can cost up to $20,000. Because of these costs, it is obvious that average homeowners cannot pay directly from their pockets. This welcomes the idea of financing. There is a reason roof financing is the next option that comes to mind. However, roofing financing is not easily accessible. The best option for financing would be a bank or a credit agency for that matter
Most roofing companies do not offer to finance. This does not mean that there is absolutely no roofing company that can finance you; there exist few large companies that finance people, but almost all small and medium size companies do not finance. There are several reasons as to why most roofing companies do not finance. We will go through them one by one.
Roofing companies find financing difficult because they have to buy the materials and pay for the labor the moment they install the roof. This means that the company itself has to dig to its pocket to compensate its suppliers and remunerate its employees. If the Roofing Companies In Murrayville GA takes the risk of covering you using financing, it will be left with a negative account and debt that is not certain if it will be recovered.
The main idea here is that roofing companies are just small contractors, they are not credit agencies. This means that it is not their Roofing Companies In Murrayville GA to wait long periods of time to get paid for service they have already rendered. If a medium sized roofing company offered to finance to every of its client, it would not be long before it is left with no operating finance and it would soon have to be closed down because of bankruptcy.

"Apple Makes New Employees Work on Fake Products Until Apple Can Trust Them", blared a headline—and many others like it—last January. In the Apple-watching world, it has since become common wisdom that the company assigns new engineers to "fake" projects in order to test their loyalty—that is, their propensity to leak—before giving them actual work.
The claim took life with the publication of a book called Inside Apple, which claimed some employees were "hired into so-called dummy positions, roles that aren't explained in detail until after they join the company." Author Adam Lashinsky cited an unnamed Apple engineer who said he wasn't informed of what he would be working on until his first day on the job. This expanded into a wider-reaching "fake products" claim made when Lashinsky spoke about the book at LinkedIn. After his talk, an unnamed audience member said that a friend had worked on "fake products" at Apple for nine months before being put on something real. The point was related to Lashinsky's reporting on Apple's notorious secrecy and was meant to highlight the extremes to which Apple goes to protect its trade secrets. The moment was captured on video, and the idea that Apple puts employees on fake projects took off within the Apple blogosphere and became widely accepted as fact.
But is it true? I was prompted to look into the question after several friends—Apple employees, no less—expressed disbelief at the claim. Their skepticism matched my own experience; in my years of reporting on Apple and speaking to many of its employees, I had never heard of such a practice. When I sought answers by interviewing current and former Apple engineers, I found that "fake" projects are certainly not a regular occurrence at Apple—and they quite probably do not exist at all.
Fake projects? What fake projects?
"Apple always seemed to be a no-bullshit kind of place when it comes to the seriousness of your work and what you get done," one former engineer told me when I asked him about fake projects. "I find it suspect that they'd ever waste their own and the employee's time on something that didn't directly contribute to their bottom line somehow."
I spoke to Apple employees from various areas of the company at differing levels, some who are still at Apple and others who have moved on, but all expressed the same sentiment. No one reported any direct experience of being put on a fake project at Apple, and no one knew a friend or colleague at the company who had. A single former employee acknowledged having heard about fake projects—but only from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend, and the employee was quick to acknowledge that the rumor should be treated with a skeptical eye.
"I don't really see the need for that kind of stuff because everything is NDAed [governed by a nondisclosure agreement] out the ass," one current employee told me. "You can be hired for a position where they don't tell you what you're working on beforehand, sure, but if they're choosing to hire you with your skill set, you might be able to hazard a guess on what it's about. It's a lot easier to have someone sign an NDA and then fire them if they violate it."
Indeed, multiple individuals I spoke to highlighted Apple's "generous" use of the NDA for projects, or parts of projects, or even parts of parts of projects. The point isn't just to hold employees accountable if information gets out, but also to serve as a constant reminder that Apple is watching. The attitude directly affects hiring—employees said that managers try to hire people who are clearly enthused about the job and about Apple, not the type who come off as someone who might leak right away.
"Everything we work on, there's a new NDA for," one engineer said. "If we had any questions about whether someone would be able to maintain confidentiality, we just wouldn't hire them. And if they did leak, they'd just get fired."
Several current and former engineers said that few US Apple employees would dare leak outside the company, echoing our report from last October, "Apple's secret garden: the struggle over leaks and security." Apple has plenty of leverage over its own state-side employees, of course, including the prospect of firings and even lawsuits; more positively, most employees stay silent out of loyalty to their teammates.
But the leaks often come fast and furious from Apple's partners in its Asian supply chain. Contract factory workers and non-Apple executives are seen as having far less skin in the game, making them more willing to publish unreleased product information. "Clearly, the people who need the security training are not [in Cupertino]. They're not getting the same level of scrutiny as we are, and it shows," one current employee told me last October.
"Apple is so containerized and siloed that rumors [among employees] tend to be the same as Internet rumors," said the former engineer who acknowledged hearing about allegedly fake projects through the grapevine. "It's mostly horse shit and links to pictures from Chinese factories."
But when it's not, the company has ways of sending a message.
Security lockdown
If Apple does catch wind of leaks from inside Cupertino, it's willing to go all Men in Black in order to find the source. A former employee familiar with Apple's security procedures said he has personally witnessed "lockdowns" wherein a part of the floor or office is surrounded by security personnel—usually outside contractors with backgrounds in the military, CIA, or FBI.
Employees working within the lockdown area have to remain in their offices while security visits each desk in order to copy data from computers and other devices. The security team claims it can zero in on a leak almost instantly (though some investigations do take longer), and it may choose one individual to take away for further questioning.
Though it sounds scary, the practice is uncommon. When asked how often such a thing might happen, the former employee told me, "At most I feel like it'd be once every couple of years." He went on to say that such an incident is often enough for those considering leaking info to the outside world to reconsider their plans.
Fake "fake" project, bro
So how did the fake projects rumor get started? As it turns out, Lashinsky never meant to imply—and didn't actually say in either his book or in the LinkedIn talk—that he was referring to fake projects. "I can see how 'dummy projects' was a poor choice of words on stage that day," Lashinsky told me in reference to the LinkedIn video. "The concept I was trying to describe might best be worded as 'placeholder' positions or 'unspecified' projects."
Our own sources acknowledged that Apple may not tell an engineer what project he or she is about to work on until the time comes, which is what Lashinsky was talking about in Inside Apple. Lashinsky clarified that the "fake" projects line didn't come from him but secondhand from an audience member, who had himself heard about it from a friend.
Let's assume that Audience Member's friend really did make this claim and wasn't attempting to deceive. Here's what might have happened: an employee was assigned to one of Apple's many experimental projects to see whether it would work out. It didn't, and the project was eventually killed. The employee—particularly if he or she were new and unfamiliar with Apple's practices—might have thought that this was a "fake" product, then complained to a friend about their supposedly wasted time.
My sources all agreed that this seemed like the most likely scenario, though two pointed out that being the most likely idea still doesn't make it likely. "If that happened, it would have been for a small project that a manager wanted or something," one former employee said, pointing out that Apple runs extremely minimal, barebones teams for its secret projects.
"Sometimes projects get canceled and never see the light of day," acknowledged a current employee who has been at Apple for roughly a decade. "But in my experience, it's highly unlikely that a new employee would be put on one of those."
Update: Red Sweater Software's Daniel Jalkut, a former Apple employee, chimed in with his experience on Twitter. "I never, in 7 years there heard of anybody's time being intentionally wasted on a fake project. Canceled projects, sure," he said.

God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person's need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than himself,
someone who touches each life he enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you've done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.
(Not written by me....but i totally agree!!)
Happy B'day chef!!
And Thank You for all the good work!!

re: what anugrah15 said...
Maybe those words apply to many, or maybe not, but they are certainly fitting to describe my dear, sweet, son-in-law, Chef John. We are so lucky that he is a part of our family. He is so much fun, has a great sense of humor, is uplifting to be around, he's both wise & smart (there is a difference), magical (he has dozens of magic tricks up his sleeves), full of common sense, thoughtful, and so very nurturing to everyone that he meets, whether in person, or here on his blog. We love him, and absolutely NO ONE has a better son-in-law than I DO! Whenever we are together it becomes a holiday. Lucky, lucky me!

A 12-year-old girl tries to figure out who's sending her mysterious notes in a novel that pays homage to Madeleine L'Engle
When You Reach Me. By Rebecca Stead, 197 pp., Wendy Lamb/Random House, $15.99. Ages 9–12.
By Janice Harayda
When You Reach Me won the American Library Association's latest John Newbery Medal, and it's certainly an enjoyable and well-written book. But is it the year's "most distinguished contribution" to children's literature?
Maybe it depends on how you define "distinguished." By my lights, the ALA citation implies: "a book that will seem as great decades from now." And I'm not convinced that When You Reach Me passes that test, or that Rebecca Stead will hold her own against Newbery winners like Russell Freedman (Lincoln: A Photobiography) and Katherine Paterson (Bridge to Terabithia, Jacob I Have Loved).
Stead tells a cleverly plotted story about a bright 12-year-old named Miranda, who tries to decipher a series of mysterious and slightly ominous notes from an unknown sender in 1978–1979. The sender — whose knowledge of events seems to transcend the laws of time and space — may or may not live near the apartment Miranda shares with her mother on the Upper West Side of New York.
Miranda's favorite book is Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, a novel about time-traveling children. And like that 1963 Newbery winner, When You Reach Me raises the question: Is time travel possible? Stead handles the issue well, offering enough science to keep her story plausible without turning it into a treatise.
But When You Reach Me deals with less complex questions than – and appears derivative in comparison to – L'Engle's modern classic. Like most suspense novels, this one gets much of its appeal from its quick pace and ability to keep you guessing, not from its depth of characterization. Miranda's mother has a boyfriend, "who is German but not strict or awful," and whose German-ness resides mainly in his Aryan looks: You never understand why Stead made him German instead of another nationality.
Far more complex characterizations appear in Deborah Heiligman's 2009 National Book Award finalist, Charles and Emma, which won a nonfiction award from the ALA. And Phillip Hoose tells a more powerful story in his Newbery Honor Book, the biography Claudette Colvin. Those books seem more likely to be important decades from now. If I had to assign grades, I'd give Charles and Emma and Claudette Colvin each an A or A-minus and When You Reach Me a B.
So why did the novel win the Newbery? Hard to say. It can't have hurt that Stead's novel subtly flatters the ALA by ratifying its choice for 1963 Newbery, or that its allusions to A Wrinkle in Time are a bonanza for teachers who love to assign compare-and-contrast exercises. Nor can it have hurt that, like the 1991 winner, Maniac Magee, the latest testifies to the joy of reading. When You Reach Me was also popular — a bestseller on Amazon — before it won, so it was a safe choice. And I've read few of the fiction candidates for the 2010 Newbery: If the judges wanted to honor a novel, though they didn't have to, Stead's may have been the best. So When You Reach Me gets a qualified endorsement: Amble to your library or bookstore for it if you're inclined, and save your sprint for National Book Award winner Claudette Colvin.
Best line: Miranda has proprietary feelings about A Wrinkle in Time: "The truth is that I hate to think about other people reading my book."
Worst line: "At the meetings, during which Mr. Nunzi has usually burned a new hole in our couch with his cigarette …" Doesn't ring true. Most sofas sold in the U.S. contain polyurethane foam stuffing, which is highly flammable, and one cigarette burn can send them up in flames.
Art notes: The cover of this book does not serve it well. It shows greenish-gray grid that looks like a patchwork of lawns and suggests that the action takes place in a northern New Jersey suburb that faces New York skyline when, in fact, it's set in Manhattan. And the book as a whole begged for illustrations.
Published: July 2009
Furthermore: Two reviews of When You Reach Me by librarians: Amanda Pape's on her blog Bookin' It and Elizabeth Bird's on the School Library Journal blog.

Jerry Costello on Families & Children
Democratic Representative (IL-12)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:
Rep. STEVE LYNCH (D, MA-9): This bill takes an important step toward improving the Federal Government's ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified workforce by providing paid parental leave to Federal and Congressional employees for the birth, adoption or placement of a child for foster care, which is a benefit that is extended to many in the private sector in other industrialized countries.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. DARRELL ISSA (R, CA-49): This bill sends the wrong message at the wrong time to working American taxpayers and families that are struggling in difficult times. Our economy is in crisis, and deficits are already soaring. This bill does not have one provision to say if you make $170,000 a year, why do we have to give you this benefit, because you have to choose between feeding your children and being with your children? Certainly not. There are no protections against, in fact, those who do not need this special benefit getting it. There are no safeguards at all. As a matter of fact, this bill envisions the $1 billion over 5 years, swelling to $4 billion over 10 years or more because, in fact, they believe it should be 8 weeks of special leave. Federal employees enjoy one of the highest levels of job security, without a doubt, anywhere in the United States. I would venture to say many of them the highest. More importantly, in good times and bad, they keep their jobs.
The Christian Coalition was founded in 1989 by Dr. Pat Robertson to give Christians a voice in government. We represent millions of people of faith and enable them to have a strong, unified voice in the conversation we call democracy.

The Walking Dead: What Is Terminus, Really?
[Warning: The following story contains major spoilers from Sunday's season finale of The Walking Dead. Read at your own risk!]
Once again, Rick Grimes and his weary group of travelers learned the hard way that there are no safe havens in the world of The Walking Dead.
During the season finale, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Carl (Chandler Riggs) inched closer to what they hoped was safety at Terminus. Unfortunately, the Claimers caught up to them first, and were determined to make Rick pay for killing one of their own. When Daryl (Norman Reedus) pleaded with his new pal Joe (Jeff Kober) to let the group go, Daryl was then beaten within an inch of his life. With the Claimers determined to rape and kill Carl and Michonne before giving Rick his due, Rick snapped, killing Joe by ripping out a chunk of his neck with his teeth and then gutting him.
Did The Walking Dead go too far?
The next day, the group - now including Daryl - set out for Terminus. Carl tells Michonne he's worried that he's not the man his father thinks he is, but rather that he is also becoming a monster. But considering what Terminus turns out to be, Carl should perhaps be happy about his transformation.
After hiding their guns just outside the perimeter, the group sneaks in the back and meets Terminus leader Gareth (Andrew J. West), who kindly pats them down and says they shouldn't be stupid enough to try anything while in Terminus. But that, of course, doesn't last long, especially after Rick realizes that members of Terminus have some items that belong to his former group members from before the fall of the prison.
Rick quickly takes a man hostage and is surrounded by guns. But when Rick & Co. try to run for it, no one shoots them. Instead, they shoot at their feet, leading them through a maze of different buildings (including a weird tribute room with candles everywhere) until they end up trapped near a train car, which Gareth forces them to get into.
But they're not alone. The group is finally (and unfortunately) reunited with Glenn (Steven Yeun), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), as well as Tara (Alanna Masterson), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita (Christian Serratos). More determined than ever, Rick points out that Gareth and the other residents of Terminus will feel pretty stupid when they find out they're screwing with the wrong people.

But who are the people of Terminus, really? It's unclear at this point, but a certain comic book story line could be an indicator. Earlier this season, we suspected the Claimers to be The Hunters, a group of hostile survivors-turned-cannibals. But what if the group from Terminus is actually The Hunters, possibly even a younger version of the antagonists who consume other survivors, promising safety just to bring fresh meat within their walls? After all, The Walking Dead loves putting a new twist on comic book stories.
If not the cannibals, who do you think the people of Terminus are? Check back Monday morning for our interview with executive producers Robert Kirkman and Scott Gimple to get some insight.
The Walking Dead will return for its fifth season in the fall.
